  1. Install the fs-extra module using the Node Package Manager (npm) by running the following command in your terminal:

npm install fs-extra

  1. Call the truncatesync function on a file with the file path passed as an argument, as shown below:
index.tsx
try {
  fse.truncateSync('/path/to/file');
  console.log('File successfully truncated.');
} catch (err) {
  console.error(err);
}

The truncatesync function is synchronous, which means that it will block the event loop until the file has been successfully truncated. If an error occurs, it will be thrown and can be caught using a try-catch block.

Note that the truncatesync function will remove all data from the specified file, effectively setting its size to 0.
